How long does a common divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be completed 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to complete the documentation.

A case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months if a final hearing in front of a judge is not needed but a number of concerns need to be dealt with.

A number of cases are resolved at the mediation stage or through other formal negotiations.

Exactly what is the difference between an uncontested divorce and a contested divorce in Albany?

An uncontested divorce case is one in which a signed settlement agreement is submitted to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is submitted.

Why doesn't my case qualify?

If your divorce consists of problems such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over spousal support or not agreeing on the dividing of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is challenging to forecast whether your case can be handled promptly or if it will take substantially longer to complete.
